Do "Real" men have plated guns? Do "Real" men even use then fancy, new-fangled metalic cartridges, or do they stick with the tried and true 54 caliber flintlock? Do "Real" men even pussy-foot around with firearms, or do they use sabors? Clubs? Or are clubs for sissys, whereas bare fists are for "Real" men? My CZ52 is SA, with a basic Parked finish and bakelite grips, but I use the Glock 20 and even the Daewoo, some 1850s .44 revolvers and a Mark II a lot more. Does that count? Can I finally, for once, call myself a man or do I have to buy something else first? That’s a pretty pimped-out CZ, what with the nickle finish and the fancy grips and all.

One is in .375H&H and the other is .458 Lott. I suppose one could consider them "single-action" if you used a tortured route to get there. Can't put them in your pocket but they have superior stopping power. I like to think of myself as a real man and I have two CZs. One is in .375H&H and the other is .458 Lott.

Plus, if you're reloading under fire (not that I ever have, and devoutly hope I never do), you can sing or whistle or hum "Garryowen" while reloading. Poignant, don't y'think?

I shot a glock once, better than its owner too. It just felt funny. But hey, whatever works for you. I’ll stick with my 1911 thanks.
